Mama MIA!

I love it

Getting recipes from men. This is great.

I almost have a whole week full of dinners planned

Thanks guys

If I don't happen to have all the Cheeses, I add some browned crumbled-up spicy Sausage, Pepperoni Slices, Bell Pepper, Black Olices, or whatever you like as a topping, to customize it to your taste...

Oh Now I know what I am having tonight!!!! I make mine different but it is definately a baked spaghetti nite!

I did good???

I am going to fix this right away

Yep! Great idea!

Then you won't mind emailing me a helping of your baked spaghetti???

I been sick, and don't feel like cooking tonight...

Besides, I figure your cookin'll beat mine anyway...

I am sorry that you haven't been feeling well! I will mash it into an email pronto! I don't know if mine is any better! LOL I just make regular spaghetti and pour cheese on top and bake it!

Sounds good to me... With maybe a little garlic toast???

Garlic and Cheese Dippin' toast with pizza sause! Looks good on the box!

I am making baked spaghetti now. Let you know the results.

Lesson number one. Don't let the spaghetti get cold before you mix it with the eggs and butter. It was a bit like two grizzles fighting over the last salmon.

After 40 minuters the cheese is melted when I took the lid off. I guess you meant to brown the cheese which is happening as I type.

Lesson number two. Don't put your mail next to the burner cooking the sauce. Paper burns.

It is out of the oven. It looked the right amount of brown after fifteen minutes past taking the lid off.

It's Cooling

Lesson number three. If you put something containing cheese in your mouth that is really hot, you will burn yourself.

I had a pound of hot Italian sausage that I needed to use so I added it to the mix. I also had an extra bell pepper and an onion so that went in too!

Lesson number four. If you add a bunch of extra stuff, it won't fit in the same size pan.

Now I have to clean some of the dripping cheese from the bottom of the oven.

Looks good.
Tastes good.
Is good.

Thanks for a wonderful idea!
